The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

A tense, atmospheric journey through a derelict space station, where you solve environmental puzzles and piece together a mystery to escape.

What players say

Players praise the story, atmosphere, and logical puzzles but split on bugs and janky controls, especially with ladders and item handling. The game is a slow-burn psychological horror adventure with a strong ending, though some find it too dark and lacking VR control support for certain headsets.
